Its like a Phoenix being reborn from the fire

Oh waddup

We are working out the final details and should have them all ready to announce by end of next week

Can't wait for this! Going to be awesome!

Awesome!

Looking forward to racing with everyone. Good stuff.:cool:

YEAH, What he said!!!:D:nod::lol:

CARPET RACING IS ALIVE AND WELL!
 

Best news I've heard in some time. 360 reopens in NY and now MRH,,,,does it get any better?? I'm all about options. I never did get enough of either of those tracks and now looks like I'll get more opportunities to run at both. Three thumbs up if I had them!

Nice!
I know there is some major f1 love down there.
Should be able to make a few trips this winter.
Keep us posted.:tire:

I like your message and would like to subscribe to your newslettter

Great news!! Can't wait.

It is exciting to see the interest in rebuilding this track & area to what it once was & hopefully something better. I hope that we can all work together to achieve this. Thank you to everyone who has shown support so far, looking forward to talking, working & racing with everyone again!

Not an oval is it? :-(

Hi Doug,

Oval has been discussed & it is something we'd like to offer. We will know more later this week.

Awesome!

Getting closer fellas...getting closer....

Get er done!!!! Thanks for the hard work fellas

Great news and look forward to the winter season at 180 Raceway!

I am scheduled to meet with the shopping center ownership folks on Thurs.

Exciting. Im in the hobby just in time!

Road trip
 

Great news to discover that MRH is about to be reborn as 180 Raceway. When the bigger events take place there, I'll try to make the trip north. Looking forward to having the opportunity to rub some lexan once again with some old friends.

Casey, very timely my friend! :nod:

Happy to hear that interest is building for the track.

I already had a schedule drafted up for this season a while ago, but some adjustments need to be made. Once I have that finished I will post it. We are hoping to coordinate our schedule with BACH in an effort to grow the hobby & increase turnouts at both venues.

For now I can say that we are planning on club racing weekly on Saturday as we always have with the occasional cash race. We also have plans for some Sunday events. Unfortunately we will not have any racing on weekdays.

If things go well today, we will be open this coming Saturday for a cleanup day with the potential for some practice at the end of the day. Casey will have an update on this after his meeting w/ the landlord.

Oh - I also wanted to mention - If anyone has any thoughts or ideas for the track & program, please don't hesitate to share them with Casey, Craig or me. We'd be happy to hear all of them & will work to implement what we can. If you wish to share, please feel free to PM any of us.

I know Casey has already talked with several racers, I've talked with a few, and we hope to keep those communications open & continue to build on them.

Thanks guys!

Great news!

Big thanks too Casey, Robbie, and Craig for your efforts.

Did someone say OVAL.

Paging Jamie Hanson

I hear there will be a USGT class and a 17.5 class?

Yes sir. Also looking to offer 17.5 1/12, F1, VTA and Mini. If there are other classes that folks want to run, we just need 3 to race it.

Thanks, hope to see you there!

Cool. Wont be racing. But perhaps could be persuaded to flap jaws on the mic here and there. R

What are the prospective popular classes? I want to build a car or 2 but I don't want to get there and have nobody to run with.

F-1? 1/12th?

Hey guys,

Quick update for the rctech followers. I posted earlier on Facebook that we have officially signed a 6 month lease to use the track from October through March. Casey will be getting the key tomorrow.

With that, our first official open day will be this Saturday, October 1! This will be a cleanup day with a good potential for open practice that afternoon/evening. First race date should be October 8

We are hoping to see F1 and 1/12 thrive this season. F1 seemed to do really well outside this year and we hope to carry that over indoors.

Oh - the popular class is typically USGT. TC is also pretty popular but we want to put an emphasis on other classes to see them grow.

USGT is 21.5 or 25.5?

21.5

Cool, thanks.

Thanks Phil! :)

guess I need to learn all these new to me screen names !

Forgot to post here last night also, but we are very pleased to announce that Gravity RC will be the spec tire for both TC and USGT classes at 180 Raceway this season!

We will have both options available at $25/set. These are already on their way to us. :tire:

USGT Tire:

We also hope to have an update soon on spec 1/12 tires. We are not going to do a spec F1 tire, but I seem to recall the CRC premount being pretty popular at the end of last season, so if you guys want we can look into getting a few sets of those as well. Your feedback is welcomed and appreciated!

First post updated.
